10:07 am
on nineteen thousand pounds a year similarly with soldiers who start on over seventeen just over seventeen thousand pounds per year so you've got frontline jobs that carry risks to your life the people protecting the safety of british citizens that are being paid less than somebody who's serving coffee to politicians one of the police federation representatives took to twitter to ask where they could apply for such a nice job in parliament because it's obviously a lot safer and it's paying more than some of the frontline police officers but i spoke to the former editor of the police tribute to find out what the morale all is like among the police officers amidst these revelations while morale is already rock bottom amongst police officers anyway because of this tax on their pay and conditions of their pensions and then they find out as you say the politicians who
10:08 am
could like the rest of us make coffee themselves and let's not let's remember that the coffee they have will be heavily subsidized by the tax payers a lot of people's wages being either frozen or slashed just like the police officers we hit the streets of london a little bit earlier to find out whether people in london think that someone who serves coffee to politicians should be making more money than a front line police officer let's take a look at my coffee twenty grand of commons where do i saw it. going so i'll just go from washington research coffee game here. you know probably no so searching night again tonight is basically a kick in the going because they're just being ridiculous and have it ties here and they should be ashamed of themselves for doing something that shows just how out of touch the politicians are with the problems of ordinary brits and of course a lot of critics saying that with the austerity measures we fighting for a lot of people in the u.k.

accused of inciting violence during protests as well as the use of force against police work. besta gators are also looking to allegations that he was planning to stage riots across russia not so often merged as a protest leader as thousands took to the streets and russian antigovernment protests a year ago he was detained on several occasions violating police orders. leaders may be popping the champagne corks to celebrate and historic budget deal in their looks like the european parliament may spoil the party i mean these are the final sale where the first cut to the unions spending goes through and that eventually block it planning a secret vote on the budget plan in what's seen as a revolt against evil leaders well economist james medway says the budgets may yet be sunk by the parliament constitutionally they're well within their rights to reject the thing and send it back and have another go at writing this now whether
10:12 am
they actually do that will probably depend on the fine print on the budget or already present you parliament to said it won't be able to support this deal and the head of one of the major groups in the parliament the socialist group said that there are likely to be supported there's going to be a rocky ride i think this budget over the next few months cameron's right talk about this being like a reduction in a credit card limits and of course you can have your credit card limit reduced and still spend on spending more money now that's almost certainly what's going to happen to britain over the next few years the amounts that britain is expected to pay into the main e.u. fund will increase as a result of increased payments to a new member countries so he's going to pretend that this will show how britain can still be a force in europe how we can push the rest of europe around discourses over the fact of course that he would have got anywhere in this without the support of wrangler merkel in particular so he can he can try to push that line that you know he knows what he's doing to europe and that we don't need to go so far as to step out of the european union but i wouldn't see the more euro skeptic members of his
10:13 am
own party being particularly impressed by any of this. well david cameron may be claiming victory in brussels but domestically one issue is refusing to go away the most occasioning to rate fixing at banks in britain is expanding revelations over just how widespread the practice was revelations that have left artie's max keiser exasperated. i'm going to avoid that t. word for today just for variety i mean if i thought the t. word is being prosecuted in this country or america i would imagine if i thought that our drone sent up this frank frank jenkins over at barclays bank and exploded innocent passengers splattered on the wall i thought that would have any effect if i thought the guardian would give a flying head about their own population i would imagine the t word but i don't know because they don't. return it to ongoing turmoil arab spring countries in tunisia the cradle of the

region uprisings political chaos is being inflamed the country's ruling is the last parties set on defying the people's demands for change or in the assassination of a truck we need a secular opposition leader and its prime minister's plan to reshuffle the government is the most so now holding a mass around it's about the legitimacy of their power but it comes a day after ben i'd say a few door was marred by clashes between protesters that blame the government and the police for his death the violence that erupted near the cemetery culminated in several days of anti regime rallies that ended in arrests and security forces using tear gas and despite such methods of managing to keep huge crowds away from the city center for now experts believe the unrest may take a turn for the worse. hearing a profound crisis a crisis of the credibility of the existing new arrangements for holding and any massive discrediting of the way in which they operate i think there are
10:15 am
signs that this could easily disintegrate into some kind of civil war hopefully it won't happen and we remain to watch to see how we move organize to prevent this one of those frightening thing used in iraq to external support for example by the qatari government of the right wing fundamentalists and it remains to. we see. action against these terrorist groups. and as bahrain approaches the second anniversary of the beginning of protests the government and the opposition have funny agreed to resume dialogue but chances for ending the political deadlock in the gulf kingdom are slim the opposition clearly not trusting authorities following months of persecution. looks into how dissent has been gagged in the country if you look through any pro-government newspaper in bahrain you did an impression that the government has nothing to hide the news of
10:16 am
an uprising of the opposition is dominating the front page and if you look through it you'll see other stories about the political discourse in the country the country's information minister insists bahrain has no problems with people speaking out what it is that if in freedom of expression in bahrain is very high because it is guaranteed by the constitution moreover there is a law to be issued soon that further guarantees yes we have a problem related to banning some upsides but that's to protect bahrain from six syrian ethnic problems and violence only and not for any other reason. but this is what happened when we tried several opposition websites having looked through these pages later we did not notice any extremist overtones and so you see from bahrain center for human rights believes the government is deliberately attempting to silence views different to its own center for a moderate which i work for website is
10:17 am
a blog we have almost more than four hundred website out of the most of them are human rights or political website although of certain behead our block we have only facebook and twitter there are many which is not a blog. sayed spoke to us on the back over two week prison term for what was called breaking the law on public gatherings several weeks later he was arrested again the editor in chief of bahrain's only independent newspaper says this is how things are in his country if you speak out if you express yourself you are expressing yourself at all at your own risks people are brave enough now to speak out but they do that and they could be punished one day you could be put in jail it could end up like an a builder job three years because if you tweeted something social networking came of age during the uprisings of recent years a fact not lost on bahrain's leaders who have watched almost daily street protests

of heroism but with an expiry date that appears to be the case for the u.k. army veterans are being denied russian bravery medals because events they took part in were more than five years ago well scope plan to reward thousands of british troops who guarded crucial convoys that supplied the u.s.s.r. during world war two. has more. imagine doing a service to a foreign country during a time of war risking your life going through unimaginable hardships all of the name of helping in their lives imagine that country wanting to reward you with a medal of honor and then imagine your own government refused to allow you to accept that medal for rather ambiguous reasons that's precisely what's happening to several hundred veterans in the u.k. the russian government wanted to award them the medal for their service in the arctic convoy during world war two but the foreign and commonwealth office has
10:20 am
refused the request saying that they appreciate the move from moscow but they simply cannot be granted because current rules dictates foreign medals can only be accepted within five years of the events occurring but the british government is promising to soon create a medal to honor u.k. troops who participated in the arctic convoys now the convoys delivered thousands of anti tank guns and fighter planes to the u.s.s.r. between one hundred forty one in one thousand nine hundred five the route to went from north america iceland and the u.k. it's may look simple enough on the map but it was anything but that the conway's were constantly attacked by german u. boats ships and planes and when humans were in the problem the convoys often filled victim to the horrendous storms in the icy cold waters of the arctic that was some seventy years ago and many of the veterans feel they may not want to live to see the day the u.k. very wards them with its old version of the medal and for some there is
10:21 am

10:22 am
medal which i may not served on the american i agree when i was in shanghai and china so he's. probably sorry they were to offer me a medal what would be to their written the government's response to the. for their part so many british veterans such as john seem open and receptive to the idea of a medal coming from russia. yes. session. a few years ago left there for a few years. and it down to meet children we grant you. a surprise procession to may just not only beddoes but coming from national debate like this will be it for special but unfortunately in their decision making process it appears the u.k. government did not consider the feelings of its country's veterans. now some other international news in brief for you this hour at least one person has been killed
